1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cavatappi pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Grill the Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest before slicing.
3
Prepare the Vegetables
While the chicken is grilling, chop the tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Set aside.
4
Make the Dressing
In a bowl, mix together yogurt, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, pepper, and any desired spices (like cayenne or paprika) to create a spicy yogurt dressing.
5
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cooked pasta, chopped vegetables, Kalamata olives, and sliced grilled chicken. Drizzle with the spicy yogurt dressing and toss gently to combine.
6
Serve
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately.
